Home From College

He's home from college now all smooth and ruddy. "No time for dating, Son, the harvest is near." All smooth and ruddy apples must get to market. The harvest is near; the price is incomparable. Apples must get to market shining in the searing sun, the price is incomparable. Dad set the lines and rows shining in the searing sun. Mom, in her way, agreed. Dad set the lines and rows; the loss for him is unbearable. Mom, in her way, agreed, "No time for dating, Son." The loss for him is unbearable; he's home from college now.

Getting home from college - and, of course, getting back to college after the home visit - can be quite a weird experience. Most of us have done it. Thanks for the poem, Carol. We've enjoyed it.
